I passed the CLEP Information Systems and Computer Applications on Tuesday with a 69. I've been in IS for about 12+ years plus I was building my own computers at age 10. I'll be able to tell my true test-taking ability after I take my next test, American Government. I took the Peterson pretest and got 24 out of 25.
I think what helped me the most with this test was understanding how to take tests. I took the SAT a couple of years ago and used the College Board's book as a guide. Since the CLEP questions are written by the College Board (the same people that create the SAT) then you are pretty much getting interchangeable advice.
If you want to get higher scores, read the SAT preparation book. I am sure that is what helped me. When you see 5 answers and you can automatically throw out 2 or 3 because you KNOW they cannot be correct it helps a lot. The College Board SAT test-prep taught me how.
